    HappyJaxRN replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I did at first. It was very strange. But that passed. Once you get used to them, they become a part of your body. I lay on my chest without

  3. Breast Implants

    HappyJaxRN replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem talking about my fake breasts. I'm kinda proud of them.:) I couldn't get over having nothing but nubs when I was 17. I was made fun of and pestered by my boyfriend and others...

  4. Breast Implants

    HappyJaxRN replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

  5. Breast Implants

    HappyJaxRN replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I have them. And they are silicone. I haven't had any problems that I'm aware of. I've had them in since 1988. I'm looking to have them out and replaced this year with new ones. I was told that they...

    HappyJaxRN replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    Saying prayers for you. It was a godsend you're leaving, probably not on your terms, but it's not healthy to be in a toxic environment. No matter how big of a wall to put up against it, you fall prey...

  8. What good is it to be a GN?

    HappyJaxRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In Florida, I worked as a GN with a preceptor. I was scared when I took the NCLEX. If I failed, I would be back as a PCT. But I passed and continued to work as.....an RN. Both positions, you play the...

  9. CNA's in control

  10. You're going to Community College?

    HappyJaxRN replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose the ADN route over BSN because I was making a career change at age 35. A good way to look at it is that most ADN nurses and BSN nurses make about the same amount of money. I think you have...

    HappyJaxRN replied to calicamper's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi there. I know what you're talking about. I ended up in the ER at the hospital I work at when I was in nursing school because the new MD had MISprescribed a medication that caused HTN and...

  17. Pre-employment drug testing

    HappyJaxRN replied to tiona's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    HappyJaxRN posted a topic in Florida Nursing

  23. Devastated

    HappyJaxRN replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    Ah...that explains it...I have a dry personality...A lot of people can't peg when I'm joking 1/2 the time and it really upsets them. He he...oops. I don't cover up any BS tho...Unfortunately, if...

  24. Devastated

    HappyJaxRN replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing
